A Highland Diary

Well, as the snow started thawing in London I hightailed it to the Highlands, where the snow lies in magnificent abandon. I'm staying at Craigendarroch just outside Ballater on Royal Deeside for a week of rest, reading, recharging batteries and vigorous walking!

The walking however is a challenge when the snow is over your knees. Thank goodness for thermals!
